Unfiltered Story #352642

My partner is terrified of dogs. We’re riding the elevator when it opens to a gigantic dog and its handler. Naturally, my partner hides behind me and starts shaking.
Me: I’m sorry; they’re terrified of dogs.
Handler: That’s okay, dear.
The handler backs up to the far corner.
Handler: I’m going to stand here, between you and the dog, and it’s not going to move, okay? You’re safe.
Me: Thank you.
I lead my partner out, and the handler waits until we’re in the hallway before getting on the elevator.
It may have been a small thing to you, but it really means a lot to me and my partner. Thank you so much for being so considerate!
